Initially, after the struggles of childhood and young adulthood, the author appears to be excited by becoming a student yet again at 41 years. I agree with the author that one should not give up in the attempt to achieve something because the hardships and challenges that occur in the process do not necessarily define the outcomes of one’s efforts. In this case, Sedaris uses his article to discuss the challenges that one encounters throughout the life while using humorous language and elements of writing to urge his audience to avoid giving up in life and in attaining personal goals despite the circumstances. Nonetheless, the group has at least one critical characteristic to define each person: the instructor hates everyone. After enrolling in a language class, Sedaris realizes that he was learning in a room with numerous individuals with different ages, experiences, and cultural backgrounds. Having gone to France with “bottleneck” knowledge of the language, he aimed at enhancing his capacity and proficiency in French for comfortable handling of the witty conversations. However, the story gets more of its meaning in Sedaris’ attempt to learn French. With the parents having survived the Great Depression, most of the baby boomers encountered harsh parenting experiences. The author discusses his struggles living in a family of baby boomers. The article, “Me Talk Pretty One Day,” by David Sedaris revolves around his experiences in early life and adulthood in France.
